radtextbox format date

[Judith]

I would like to format a date in radtextbox to exclude the time.. I have the following code

<

 

telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtEntryDate"

 

 

EmptyMessage="" ToolTip="Entry date"

 

 

Text='<%#Bind("EntryDate") %>'

 

 

DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}"

 

 

readonly = "true"

 

 

runat="server" Width="100px"/>

This does not work and it is still displayed with the time. I do not want to use a date picker because this date should never be changed.
 Thank you.

Hi Judith,

Try the following approach in order to format the Date displayed in RadTextBox.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtEntryDate" EmptyMessage="" ToolTip="Entry date" Text='<%# String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}",Eval("EntryDate"))   %>'

ReadOnly="true" runat="server" Width="100px" />

Also you can use the RadDateInput control as an alternative.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadDateInput ID="RadDateInput1" ReadOnly="true" SelectedDate='<%#Eval("EntryDate") %>' DateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy"

runat="server">

</telerik:RadDateInput>
